Re:RedBrick vs Oracle

I *think* that's good news for me. We will be implementing a data warehouse
via a third-party vendor (we want their product to collect data for us). We
were originally going to go with an Oracle database but their reporting
product doesn't work for ad hoc reports for Oracle (yet). So we are using
their native database... Redbrick.

Nice to know someone thinks it's decent, since I haven't had time to look at
it (I do have to sleep sometimes, I AM working on cutting that out!) and I
will be responsible for it when it is finally installed (can you say
"doesn't seem to matter what database we are using, she's a DBA, so she
knows how to administer it"... OY!)
